February 18th 2014 - Still under the spell of storms.

This has been a long winter and it's not over yet.
There is not much to do in these winter storms apart from staying warm
and healthy. Just an occasional outing for pictures is all that can be
done. The scenes of winter are picturesque only when the sun is out and
the surroundings are filled with sunlight - a rare commodity this
winter.This is a scene at a Park near where I live.Shutter Speed: 1/750ISO : 100Setting : Manual

In the same park I saw this Coniferous tree. It was huge. Really loved the blue sky which we rarely see here at this time of the year. It is always greyish and cloudy. You can imagine how huge it must have been. It is so surprising that some trees just stand in the adversities to grow and flourish. Kind of like the quote - "When the going gets tough, the tough gets going". Also reminds me Kelly Clarkson's - "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger". I love this song. One can also say that they are made tough genetically. So standing strong in adversity is not their property but their genes are like that. Anyway, they are a delight to the eyes amongst the white snow.Shutter Speed - 1/200ISO- 100Setting : ManualBelow is a shot from a road over a highway. This is what I am talking about -the cloudy, gloomy but this one has a little sun shining through the clouds at sunset like hope in despair.Shutter speed : 1/30ISO : 100Setting : ManualClick on the images to get a better view. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Well, this is exactly what I am doing. With this optimistic note I end this post. Hope you all will stay warm . Have a nice week!

About Me

A freelance Software Developer by profession and a Photographer by choice, photography started as a hobby which has now transformed to a passion. I have been taking pictures since I can remember and over the years have learnt that it's a never ending learning experience. It's a quest which captures life's moments in single shots and stays in memories longer than your lifetime.
I love taking pictures of anything and everything under the umbrella of nature. I believe that the science of creating a photograph is an art which involves playing with light among lots of other adjustments. Just trying to capture the world around me through the lens to create this art. My style is mostly taking pictures of vibrant colors but I believe that black and white, monotones and duo tones have a matchless place and beauty.
